Ally's Eight-Legged Journey

I guess it's the season for wandering spoods, because I found this one in my bath today! I belieave it's Steatoda nobilis - commonly known as the False Widow spider: I am not overly fond of these spiders - I have heard too many cases of them biting my friends and family. My partner had an exceptionally nasty bite on his arm recently, which he got while cleaning his garage. And yes, I know that it's not an especially bad bite - akin to a wasp sring, apparently - but I don't even like to be bitten by a mosquito! These spiders have venom potent enough to allow them to feed on pipistrelle bats, so when I pulled this lady out of my bathtub (I am assuming she is female as I didn't notice the swollen pedipalps that a male would have) I made sure to not use any fingers. She was gently scooped into a cardboard tube and dropped out of the window. As females can live up to five years, I imagine I may see her again - whether I am aware of it or not.
